Color Stability of Colored Concrete over Time Depending on the Type of Pigment

Ing. Radka Navrátilová, Ph.D.

Colored concrete is widely used in contemporary architecture due to its aesthetic potential. Adding a color pigment to the concrete mix opens up for architects other possibilities for work with concrete. They are no longer limited by its natural gray color. Choosing the right type of pigment is essential for quality and long-term satisfaction with the final work, while it is necessary to be aware of certain limits resulting from the natural behavior and nature of concrete. The article characterizes an overview of pigments suitable for coloring concrete mixtures and demonstrates the change in color saturation after exposure to weathering over time. The measurement was performed on experimental concrete samples stained with yellow, red and green pigments
